WRITTEN QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS SUBMITTED
1. QUESTION: The project deadline listed for questions in the specifications is 3/27 but it
wasn't advertised for bid until 3/25, see below. Is this a typo? Please advise.
ANSWER: Refer to Addendum No. 1 for revised date.
2. QUESTION: Also, two weeks is not a lot of time to prepare a bid of this size. Since us
along with two other bidders already bid the original project, can you please provide all
bidders with an outline of what the differences are between the two bids please. This will
save all of us a lot of time in preparing this re-bid.
ANSWER: It is the bidder's responsibility to fully examine the Contract Documents
thoroughly before submitting a bid.
3. QUESTION: Also, can you please provide the bid unit pricing from the three bidders on
the original bid. I don't recall ever seeing the bid tabulation from the original bid on
February 9, 2026.
ANSWER: Bid packages opened during Board of Contract and Supply meetings are
publicly available on the City of Providence website.
4. QUESTION: Is there a liquid asphalt escalation clause in this contract in accordance
with RIDOT standards? Given the volatility of the current oil market, it is a concern for
GCs and paving contractors.
ANSWER: Refer to this Addendum No. 2.
5. QUESTION: Can an item be added for concrete sidewalk restoration by the SY? That
would help bidders to separate costs as right now the few bid items included in these
bids are a "catch all" for a large number of misc. work that is sometimes used and
sometimes not used, but you have to carry it just in case.
ANSWER: No, the concrete sidewalks will remain under the replacement bid items.
